Big Bertha Nedlands, Western Australia, Australia
By kbinuk2005 on 02-Apr-12. Waypoint GC3G0M2

I was passing by so I decided to have a look. The cache is not where it used to be. It was either moved to a different location or it's missing

More than thrilled to open up this area for others to hide in.

Had a 10 min search with 2 friends and could not find

I’d driven past this one several times before but I’ve always been alone and there were always heaps of kids here so didn’t stop.
Today there are only a couple of kids despite the holidays and I have a group of kids of my own which makes me look less suspicious.
A quick find by my geo son using the photos as a guide.
Thanks for the hide .K.B.

Description is misleading but finally found this one. Hint very helpful. TFTC

Found it with the help of a fellow cacher! TFTC

So hidden! Found it after a lot of searching.

Thanks KB for replacing, a quick find to turn the blue into a yellow smiley. TFTH

Replaced container:

Can CO check think it’s gone

Someone might have taken it

Found it thanks to pictures below

Hard to find. I had to look at the photos to find it.

Great hiding spot and a lot of fun

I like the new hiding spot

A quick stop here after grabbing a pizza nearby.

Pretty quickly found despite the darkness.


kbinuk2005 SVKR_WA is happy to have found your cache Big Bertha today at 19:50:53 12 Oct 2019. This brings my find count to 3827

kbinuk2005 - Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment. We love travelling the state and visiting some places that we would only visit due to this game.

Found in the dark. Spiders and all. Thanks

After a long overdue pizza with Lachlan1.77 we decided to find some cache. Spotted quickly in company with a friendly spider. TFTC!

Grabbed pizza up in Dog Swamp with 777Tiger tonight. After taking it back to Kings Park to eat, we went and nabbed a few caches around the Nedlands area.

Spotted the cache immediately on arrival. Had a friendly spider the size of a 50 cent coin guarding it. (Photo attached) After blowing at it, it quickly retreated up into Big Bertha, and I retrieved the cache. Cheers kbinuk2005!

Found
SPOILER : but not in indicated place. Now inside left wheel.
TFTC !

Dnf think this ones missing if behind made in

May have been taken?? Hint helped but we found a hole which the cache may have been in.

Found muggles and all!! Tftc

This cache was a fun experience and very challenging. Thankyou for making it so fun for us. It was hidden extremely well.
THANKYOU!!!

Took us 20 mins to find it. Used the hints and logic to find the cache. No swaps just a log book.

Wow that was a quick adventure we entered the park nervous about finding the cache with muggles and their furry friends aplenty at 5pm. There were even children playing on Big Bertha. But we saw a photo that showed us were the cache was. Thanks KB for taking us to this cool park and we enjoyed seeing Big Bertha and another cool sculpture.

Cache was present so maintenance is not required.

Could not find, spent 10 mins looking

Waay too many muggles around

Lots of muggles so quick look

Interesting how there are different GS rules in different places: in the UK where I first started caching, placements anywhere near play areas are completely banned. And yet here’s one actually inside one! Old habits die hard so I was a bit unsure about coming here but as I was in the area I thought I’d drive by and see how things looked. Public holiday today so I thought it might be busy...but the park was completely empty, not a soul around! So I took my chance and quickly parked up and speed walked to GZ before any pesky kids turn up, lol. Retrieving the cache was a little awkward as there were nasty spider webs to contend with. With me squealing and yelping I was doubly glad no one was around! After finally getting my name on the log I had a read of the info board and then headed back to the car. Glad I came to this one after all TFTC

Patch was over this way a few weeks ago but there were too many muggles about for her to search for the cache so it was that she had Spot in tow and north of the river we headed this morning to tackle this wee baby. All was good here and log signed and returned awaiting the next visitor. Thanks kbinuk2005.

Found it!

Container is present. No maintenance required.

Not there ...

This geocacher reported that there is a problem with this cache.

Headed out Fishing, but was to rough so we headed back in and went caching instead, Tftc.

Had been past here before to find the park full of muggles. Today I was in the area again - a lot earlier - and was able to make a quick find courtesy of the spoiler pic. TFTC kbinuk2005.

Found TFTC. Thanks to Everlasting bring us with cache

Found it. TFTC kb. Interesting, I didn’t know they were made in Australia

So this is what geocaching has reduced me to..trying to keep a streak going and had come here before my shift to find the area swamped with council workers..so back at 2200 at the end of the work day scrambling around in the rain..quick find .cache and log all good tftc

We are venturing just a little NOR, making the most of the sunshine. The main purpose of the trip to make some frowns do a back flip now that they have been replaced & to try for a couple of recently solved puzzles. TFTC KB

Out and about with Parkacruz a quick find here tftc

Out for a quick find after seeing this one was back in play TFTC

Found with The-Shredder. TFTC

Quick find with Skyryser. Tftc The-Shredder

Three from three caches in the area that were fully exposed. Log signed and hidden from view. TFTC

Woo Hoo! Third time lucky! I am so pleased. Found it with ex-muggle friend. Thx for the picture

TFTC

The photo super helped.

Quick find thanks to the photo.

TFTC. Photo helped much more than the description did

Replaced.

Unfortunaley no luck here today despite a lengthy search

I guess we came for a look just before the CO. Oh well it is good to know that we were not suffering from cache blindness

Sorry. Cache missing and my replacement wasn’t suitable.

Looked all around but didn’t find it this time. Went at a busy time so couldn’t spend too much time hunting.

Found it second time of hunting

My son found it quicker than us. Thanks for showing this playground and the yellow machine. Nice bit of history. TFTc!

Thank you pity we didnt bring a pencil

Easy find. Picked quiet time so no kids at the park.. Except for mine

Fun find. TFTC.

Mum d and geokid r finally found this little sucker on our second attempt. Tricky but has to be with all the little kids climbing all over it everyday.

Cache present. No maintenance required.

Thought we would find this one after being reassured it was still here. Have looked everywhere mentioned with geokid r in toe as cover from muggles. No luck this time.

Tricky find and Gps was a bit off. The description seemed to have two different areas! Go with the first description and search near the parallel plate/step.

Looked under all the plates and couldn't find it. Put fingers everywhere. Please put up a new pic of the cache.

S&s. been twice and cannot locate it ?? Has it gone ??

It is really hard the first time the second time it was gone so its not there

Sorry had a good look no find

Fun with my son in the sun today.

Tftc

Found it

Driven past this one numerous times over the years but never at a good time to stop.
Had to drop a friend off in Mt Claremont this evening so finally had a chance to attempt this cache.
DNFed it almost 3 years ago, so glad I've finally found it. Obviously the place was deserted at 7pm on a cold rainy night so searched with freedom. Took a minute or so but fingers finally found the cache. TFTC.

Have replaced back under plate at rear of Bertha

No luck

DNF

Will come back when there are less dogs and owners around.

Thanks for the cache

Ventured north of the river for a geo adventure. Lots of rain the first few hours but then settled to intermittent showers. We found 37 caches on our outing today.

Nice and quiet in the park today so was a quick uninterrupted find.


TFTC kbinuk2005 this is find # 1961 for us

Hard to find, probably not a good idea looking at night

Looked from top to bottom and followed instructions over and over still couldn't find it.

Found it after about 5 min of looking

Numerous people at park today. While searching for cache 2 girls came onto big bertha. They were staring at us as if something bad had just happened so we quickly walked back to car and signed the log (Girls were gone when we came back) Thanks for the cache. That brings us to 41 finds now!

Last time we were here there were people enjoying the dog park so we joined them as finding the cache was not an option. Today we were earlier and there was no- one around so an easy find ( relatively) ensued. Loved BB. Thanks for the cache,.K.B.

Didn't find it today!

Placed my hand in where i thought it would be and the cache dropped to the ground. A quick find before re installing the shade sails over the playground nearby. SL. TFTC.

An additional cache has been magnetised back in the original location and the description updated accordingly.

Was up in the metro for Firnsy's GA event in North Coogee and thought may as well get muggle to drive a bit more so I could grab some caches to help with my LGA challenge list, as you do

A quick find by muggle while I was taking photos, plus I can't stealthly bend that low

TFTC

Called in here to give the kids are quick play before I was dropped off at the Dream big Expo at the Showgrounds.
Took a while to find but managed in the end
Thanks

Got an unexpected play date when I stopped past and discovered from friends in the park. I didn't have a magnetic tin with me but left a non magnetic tin and the rear right (driver's side of a standard Australian vehicle) at ground level. Will replace more permanently soon.

I (a finder of this cache a few moons ago) walked past, and decided to check up on the cache. It's either been muggled or moved away.

After 30 mins sadly no luck

Great place.

Thanks for the find

NZJ. Found quick and easy. Old logs were stuffed and messy. Created a new log sheet. Tftc
